Prosper Gold duo eyes another win at Ashley SITE VISIT

| Team that developed Blackwater in BC turns to Timmins

rosper Gold’s (TSXV: PGX) management aims to repeat the success it had at Richfield Ventures’ Blackwater gold project in B.C. at Prosper’s new Ashley gold project near Timmins, Ontario. Led by president and CEO Peter Bernier and vice-president of exploration Dirk Tempelman-Kluit, Prosper began drilling the Ashley project in early September, seven months after it optioned into the historic Ashley gold mine and surrounding claims. Initial results should be out shortly. Bernier, who got his first taste of exploration staking claims around Hemlo at the age of 15, says Ashley could become a significant find. The Timmins born and raised entrepreneur founded Richfield, a private exploration firm that became public in late 2007. Before listing on the TSX Venture Exchange, Bernier contracted then-retired geologist Tempelman-Kluit to complete a technical report on the company’s copper project. Tempelman-Kluit had spent most of his career at the Geological Survey of Canada’s Cordilleran Division, where he mapped large parts of the Yukon. Impressed by each other’s work ethic, the two joined forces in 2005. Tempelman-Kluit started working as Richfield’s vice-president of exploration, playing a crucial role in the firm’s success story. “That guy is amazing. He’s 78 now and he’s spry. He does all our 3-D modelling. He’s one of the smartest guys you will ever meet,” Bernie says one crisp September morning during a two-and-a-half-hour drive from the Timmins airport to the Ashley project. We turn onto Highway 101 to Timiskaming. Bernier points out the headframe of the former McIntyre underground gold mine, near the McIntyre arena, where he grew up playing hockey. The McIntyre mine, along with Hollinger and Dome, are the “big three” gold mines discovered during the Porcupine gold rush of 1909. They placed Timmins on the map

he team that put the Karma gold mine into production in Burkina Faso for True Gold before the junior was acquired by Endeavour Mining (TSX: EDV; USOTC: EDVVF) for $240 million in April, hopes to duplicate its success at Luna Gold (TSX: LGC) in Brazil. Luna Gold owns 100% of the Aurizona gold mine, which has been on care and maintenance since the third quarter of 2015. During its last reported year of production in 2013, the mine turned out 79,229 oz. gold at total cash costs of US$723 per oz. gold. “We were quite excited when we looked at it because we were really See LUNA / 14 PM40069240

as one of Canada’s leading gold districts. “It’s kind of weird coming back here after all these years,” Bernier concedes. The executive, who’s also an avid hunter and Ultimate Fighting Championship fan, has lived in B.C. since the mid-80s. During the economic downturn in 2008, Richfield switched its exploration focus from copper to gold. It thought it would have better luck raising money for a gold project. “The Blackwater discovery was made in ’52. We went in there in 2009. Dirk told me that people

didn’t know they were sitting on at least a million ounces,” Bernier says, taking his eyes off the road. Tempelman-Kluit had recognized the presence of extensive hydrothermal alternation in Blackwater’s drill core photos, which suggested there was gold mineralization on the property. His insight paid off. Richfield bought the Blackwater project in 2009. A year and after half later, it had delineated an indicated and inferred resource of 4.2 million oz. gold. This attracted the acquisitive eye

of New Gold (TSX: NGD; NYSEMKT: NGD). The producer bought Richfield for over $500 million in June 2011. The two received the AME BC H.H. “Spud” Huestis Award for excellence in prospecting and mineral exploration in 2011. Bernier formed Prosper Gold in 2012. The junior optioned into the Star Porphyry copper-gold project in B.C. in 2013. But the project garnered little market interest, so the duo began looking for a gold See PROSPER / 2

project. “We probably looked at 300 to 400 projects before we picked this one,” Bernier says of the Ashley project. “We see huge potential here. If we didn’t, we wouldn’t be able to sell it ourselves,” Bernier says. The executive, along with Tempelman-Kluit, has his own money tied into Prosper. The two own a combined 25% of the junior. They have also forgone their salaries for the last two years to help keep the company afloat. The Ashley project Despite sitting in an established mining camp, some 17 km west of Alamos Gold’s (TSX: AGI; NYSE: AGI) Young-Davidson gold mine, Ashley is relatively underexplored. The recently consolidated property sits in the southwestern part of the Abitibi greenstone belt and the western part of the CadillacLarder fault system. Historically, that system churned out a third of the estimated 160 million oz. gold produced from the Abitibi belt. The 98 sq. km Ashley property includes the Ashley claim, which hosts the past-producing mine, as well as the Wydee and Matachewan claims and Galahad leases. From the Timmins airport, the project is accessible via paved highways 101 and 66. Highway 66 leads to Matachewan, Ont., where it becomes Highway 566, an all-weather gravel road that leads directly to the former underground mine. Discovered in 1930, the Ashley deposit was swiftly developed into a mine with an inclined shaft, six levels and 4,500 metres of underground workings. The deepest level extends only 210 metres below surface.

From 1932 to 1937, it produced 50,099 oz. gold from 157,636 tons at 0.32 oz. gold per ton (143,000 tonnes at 10.9 grams per tonne) from the high-grade Ashley vein. Prosper describes the Ashley vein as a sheeted quartz vein, which contains visible gold, telluride and minor pyrite, chalcopyrite, galena and sphalerite. The Ashley vein is one of the known gold-bearing vein systems on the project, along with Garvey. The Garvey vein, 1.3 km northwest of Ashley, generated a historic 26-ton (23.6-tonne) bulk sample yielding 0.86 oz. gold per ton (29.5 grams per tonne). Tempelman-Kluit guides us towards the moss-covered remnants of the processing facility, hidden behind the trees. “You can see it was a substantial operation,” he says. He suspects a low gold price and high mining costs contributed to the shut down. While a historic fire destroyed most of the mine’s records, it is clear the project has seen little exploration. The Martin family held the claim from 1980 to 2015, TempelmanKluit reveals. In 1981, oil and gas firm Petromet Resources optioned into the Ashley claim. It conducted geological mapping, trenching, surface sampling and drilling, before taking off in the mid-80s. Several other companies briefly looked at the claim, but never stuck around long enough to reopen the mine. “They kind of fooled around. Nobody has committed,” Tempelman-Kluit says. “So we’re going to commit.” That said, he notes Prosper does not plan to dewater the former mine or increase its tonnage. Instead,

it aims to discover a large deposit and delineate a resource, before selling it to another company. After the Martins let their Ashley claim lapse, prospectors Randall Salo, Jacques Robert, David Lefort and Andrew McLellan staked it. Bernier — who knew the first two from his claim staking days — says Salo pitched the project to Prosper in late 2015. “I looked at the initial data and I was interested, but not blown out of the water,” Tempelman-Kluit admits. However, after hearing about the project again, he reviewed more data on the project and was sold. The reason behind this was the location. “I liked how in Ontario, when you want to look for a gold mine, you have to be near the headframe of an old mine. And here, we were right over top of it. So that was good.” Other attributes included that the project was in a pro-mining jurisdiction, was easy to access and hosted high-grade gold vein systems, and bulk-tonnage syenite gold targets. In February, Prosper signed an option agreement to own 100% of the 14.3 sq. km Ashley claim. It agreed to pay $700,000, 1.7 million shares and complete $700,000 in work expenditures over three years. The four prospectors will retain a 3% net smelter return royalty, where Prosper could buy back 2% for $2.5 million. Also that month, it optioned into Alexandria Minerals’ (TSXV: AZX) Wydee and Matachewan claims. It agreed to provide 750,000 shares and invest $5 million over five years to earn a 75% interest. It could increase this to 90% by tabling a resource estimate of 1.5 million oz. gold. The 48 sq. km Wydee and 22.3 sq. km Matachewan claims cover 30 km of strike of the Cadillac fault system, extending west and east of the Young-Davidson gold mine. The Wydee claim surrounds the Ashley mine and contains several syenite bodies that resemble the YoungDavidson host rocks, Prosper says. The junior then picked up JCML Resources’ 13.5 sq. km Galahad leases in April. They sit 2.5 km southwest of the former Ashley mine. With the land package consolidated and over $3 million raised in private placements, Prosper kicked off a 2016 technical program. It completed extensive airborne geophysical surveys at both the Ashley and Matachewan claims. It

conducted a large soil geochemical survey over the property, where it collected more than 7,000 samples over sections of the Ashley and Wydee claims. The results from the airborne surveys — coupled with preliminary magnetic, resistivity and gravity results — showed a “west- to northwest-trending fabric thought to reflect the northwest continuity of the Cadillac Larder Lake break,” Prosper says. Meanwhile, soil results revealed a strong gold-telluriumbismuth-in-soil anomaly over the Ashley mine. The anomaly extends northward and is 1.8 km long and 300 to 800 metres wide. Prosper is the first to complete, comprehensive exploration on the property, Tempelman-Kluit says. At the waste pile left from the former operation, which may still contain high-grade gold, he stoops over and picks up a black, red and white rock. “Basalt, syenite and vein. That’s it. It’s not complicated geology,” he says. We reach Vein No. 1, which runs parallel to the main Ashley vein. “This gives you an idea that it’s a gently dipping vein, which is fairly

difficult to mine. But there’s quite a bit of alteration. It’s not a vein, it’s what we call a ‘sheeted vein system.’ It has parallel sheets. That is also what we’re seeing with the drilling so far through the Ashley vein,” Tempelman-Kluit says. On Sept. 6, Prosper started its initial 7,500- to 8,000-metre drill program. The program will focus on the known veins: Ashley, Garvey, Garvey South and Ashley West. It aims to test the connections between them and test for other gold-bearing structures. The budgeted $1 million program will wrap up by year-end. “The Ashley vein is like somebody’s arm,” Tempelman-Kluit says. “Somebody has found the arm, but where’s the body? We’re looking for the body. The body is usually not that far away from the arm. The real question is: in which direction from the arm is the body?” With drilling underway, the geologist is positive he will soon have an idea of what Prosper is sitting on. “At the end of the year, we won’t be able to come out with a resource. But we will know if it’s worthwhile to keep going.” TNM

Seabridge improves economics at KSM, drills new zone BC GOLD-COPPER

eabridge Gold (TSX: SEA; NYSE: SA) has published two more economic studies at its large-scale KSM gold-copper project in northern B.C., confirming the project’s long life and low costs. In late September, Seabridge updated a 2012 prefeasibility (PFS) — used to complete its environmental assessment in 2014 — by incorporating the slightly larger 2016 reserve estimate and lower metal price assumptions. Located 65 km northwest of Stewart, B.C., the KSM project hosts four core deposits: Kerr, Sulphurets, Mitchell and Iron Cap. It contains 38.8 million oz. gold reserves and 10.2 billion lb. copper (from 2.2 billion tonnes grading 0.55 gram gold and 0.2% copper per tonne). This makes it one of the world’s largest undeveloped gold-copper deposits. “It’s a giant, and it happens to be in one of the safest political jurisdictions in the world: Canada. We also de-risked it by going through an environmental assessment process,” Seabridge’s chairman and CEO Rudi Fronk says. The 2016 PFS — prepared by Tetra Tech — envisions KSM as a combined open-pit and underground block-caving mining operation that could operate for 53 years. Annual production should average 540,000 oz. gold and 156 million lb. copper a year over the mine’s life. The study proposes open-pit and underground block-cave mining at the Mitchell deposit, supplemented by open-pit mining at Sulphurets and Kerr, and underground block caving at Iron Cap. The maximum mill throughput would reach 130,000 tonnes a day. The cost of getting the mine up and running is a staggering US$5 billion, down 12% from the 2012 PFS. Estimated sustaining costs are US$5.5 billion. Total costs are US$673 per oz. gold produced, net of copper and silver credits. That “remains well below the industry average for operating mines,” Seabridge says. Using a 5% discount rate, KSM has a base-case, after-tax net present value (NPV) of US$1.5 billion and an 8% internal rate of return (IRR). Payback should occur within 6.8 years. The study assumed lower

| Tetra Tech predicts a 53-year open-pit and underground block-caving operation

metal prices of US$1,230 per oz. gold, US$2.75 lb. copper and US$17.75 per oz. silver, and a lower U.S. to Canadian dollar exchange rate of 0.80. (The 2012 PFS had an 11.5% pretax IRR. The study did not disclose after-tax numbers.) On Oct. 6, Seabridge released a preliminary economic assessment (PEA) to show how the project’s economics in the 2016 PFS could improve by including the highgrade Deep Kerr and Iron Cap Lower zones. The study left out these zones, as they contain only inferred resources. In total, the PEA incorporated an inferred resource of 2.7 billion tonnes at 0.35 gram gold and 0.3% copper, of which some were also on the project’s core deposits. The study recommends that mining at both the Kerr deposits should occur together by underground block caving. It also suggests the same for the Iron Cap deposits, while shrinking the earlier proposed open pits. It envisages KSM as a 51-year mine, where open-pit mining would account for 22% of the total production, compared to 70% in the 2016 PFS. This would result in the mine’s total waste rock shrinking 81%, or 2.4 billion tonnes, which lowers the project’s footprint. By including Deep Kerr, the maximum mill throughput will jump to 170,000 tonnes per day. The higher throughput would lead to more annual metal production and declining costs. The PEA estimates total costs of US$358 per oz. gold, net of byproduct credits, down 47% from earlier. Expected life-of-mine operating costs would come in at negative US$179 per oz., including copper and silver credits, versus US$277

in the PFS. The downside of transitioning the project to a mostly underground operation is the higher capital requirement. Estimated start-up costs are US$5.5 billion, with life-of-mine sustaining costs of US$10 billion. Commenting on the higher sustaining costs, Fronk notes the PEA removed 2.4 billion tonnes of waste from the mine plan, resulting in lower stripping and water treatment costs. “At a $2-per-tonne mining cost, that is essentially equal to the $5 billion of incremental sustaining capital,” he says. Using the same parameters as in the PFS, the PEA’s base-case after-tax NPV and IRR improve to US$3.4 billion and 10%. The payback period is 6.4 years. In the PEA’s alternate case, where it uses higher metal prices of US$1,500 per oz. gold, US$3 per lb. copper and US$25 per oz. silver, the NPV and IRR increase to US$6 billion and 13.4%. The payback period falls to 4.7 years. Fronk notes the IRR and NPV fail to capture the value of a long-life asset like KSM, adding the payback period is a better indicator. The PEA’s alternate case estimates it would take five years to recoup the project’s initial costs. “That’s onetenth of the mine life. That’s about as good as it gets in terms of capital efficiency,” he says. Although some of the large gold companies have a “12% to 15% hurdle rate,” KSM benefits from being de-risked and its location in a politically safe jurisdiction, which Fronk says would allow a lower hurdle rate. Seabridge prefers to develop the “shovel-ready” project in a joint venture, where it could stay on as a minority owner and minimize

its capital requirement. The executive notes the company is in talks with potential partners, and could likely sign an agreement next year, if market conditions improve. On Oct. 11, Seabridge received permits from the B.C. government to develop an exploration adit into the large Deep Kerr deposit. With the 2,100-metre adit, Seabridge can drill the deposit from underground, which is cheaper than drilling from surface. The drilling will help the company upgrade the deposit’s inferred resource to higher categories. A week later, the junior reported favourable results from a mid-year drill hole that tested the Iron Cap

Lower zone at depth. While the hole confirms the extension of the zone, it also intersected a new high-grade gold-copper zone. It returned 61 metres of 1.2 grams gold and 0.95% copper, which are among the best grades found to date on the KSM project. The company says the zone could represent a new core zone. It aims to follow up on the result in its 2017 drill campaign. Seabridge shares ended Oct. 20 at $14.99 per share. The company has an $811-million market capitalization. Fronk expects the firm will end 2016 with $10 million in the bank. TNM

| Young Mining Professional Award to honour mining’s best under 40

t The Northern Miner, we’ve taken good care to honour the old lions and lionesses of the Canadian mining industry with our cofounding and ongoing sponsorship of the Canadian Mining Hall of Fame and its annual induction ceremony — which has grown to become one of the industry’s must-attend events each January — as well as our support BY JOHN CUMMING of the two mining halls of fame in the United jcumming@northernminer.com States. Now it’s time to also acknowledge the industry’s younger members, with our full support of the inaugural annual “Young Mining Professional” award, which will shine a light on the best and brightest of the under-40 crowd in Canada and the United States. We are partnering with the Young Mining Professionals (YMP) group — with its lively and growing chapters in Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal — to launch the YMP Awards, which in the words of the YMP, will “recognize two young mining professionals, a male and a female, who over the past year, and during the course of their careers, have demonstrated exceptional leadership skills and innovative thinking to provide value for their companies and shareholders, as well as for themselves.” The awards are named after two iconic entrepreneurs in the mining industry: Barrick Gold founder Peter Munk, and mining executive Eira Thomas, who first gained prominence for her role in growing the diamond miner Aber Resources. Nominations for the Peter Munk Award (male) and the Eira Thomas Award (female) are open to the public until Jan. 15, 2017. A selection committee comprised of YMP directors and Northern Miner executives will judge the nominees and announce the winners in February 2017, with their profiles published in The Northern Miner. The YMP Awards Gala will be held on March 4, 2017, at the Shangri-La Hotel in Toronto, the day before the start of the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) convention. But the YMP and The Northern Miner need your help in identifying the best young leaders in mining in Canada and the U.S., and encourage nominations to be submitted online at www. youngminingprofessionals.com/ympawards.html The basic criteria are that nominees: must be under the age of 40 during 2016; currently engaged in the mining and metals industry; and domiciled in Canada or the United States. Along with your nomination, please include a brief description of why you think this individual deserves either the award. The YMP gives special thanks to the YMP Awards’ founding sponsors: Barrick Gold, KPMG, Cassels Brock and the PDAC. The Clintons, Morocco and OCP The usually low-profile mining industry first popped up in the highstakes U.S. 2016 presidential election campaign a couple of years ago, with the New York Times’ revelations of former U.S. president Bill Clinton’s appearance in Kazakhstan in the 2000s praising the authoritarian leader there, the sale of Kazakhstan’s uranium assets to Uranium One, the subsequent donation of millions of dollars by Uranium One-linked mining executives to the Clinton Foundation, and the later approval by the Hillary Clinton-led U.S. State Department of the sale of U.S. uranium assets to Uranium One, after the firm had been bought by Russian interests. As the election race enters its final two weeks, mining has unexpectedly popped up again in the form of Moroccan state-owned phosphate mining giant OCP and its murky relation to Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation, as revealed in personal emails of Clinton staffers newly released by Wikileaks. It seems Hillary Clinton pushed hard to get a US$12-million donation for the Clinton Foundation from OCP — which is controlled by Morocco’s King Mohammed VI — partly in return for the Clinton Foundation holding a posh convention — closed to the media — in Marrakesh in May 2015, with Hillary as the keynote speaker. But as her presidential campaign was already underway, Hillary decided not to appear and sent Bill and their daughter in her place. The U.S. State Department under Hillary Clinton had accused the Moroccan government of “arbitrary arrests and corruption,” according to Fox News. But The Daily Caller reported that Hillary Clinton supported the king when she was secretary of state, and the U.S.-financed ExportImport Bank gave OCP a US$92 million loan guarantee during her tenure. OCP is accused by its opponents of benefitting from operations located in hotly disputed areas of Western Sahara, and so any continued support of the status quo by a future president Hillary Clinton would likely benefit OCP and Morocco’s royals.

World Gold Council: Price drop likely to spur demand METALS COMMENTARY

| Fundamentals remain solid for the yellow metal

The following is an edited market analysis released by the World Gold Council in early October. For more information, please visit www.gold.org.

in our analysis), average gold returns remain positive. • Falling rates are linked to higher gold prices, yet rising rates aren’t always linked to lower prices.

fter a remarkable performance year-to-date, the gold price fell over 3% on Oct. 4, taking it below US$1,300 per oz. for the first time since the Brexit announcement in June 2016. The move seems to have been driven by speculation of a scaling back in the European Central Bank ’s (ECB) asset purchase program, combined with rising expectations of a U.S. interest rate hike in December. The move was exacerbated by technical levels, tactical positioning in derivatives markets and a national holiday in China. The price dip could offer a buying opportunity for consumers and long-term investors. In addition, even though central banks may normalize monetary policies, the prolonged extraordinary measures have led to a structural shift in asset allocation that will linger. In this new normal of lower returns and higher uncertainty, gold has a role to play in the portfolios of investors large and small.

A buying opportunity Despite the decline, gold is one of the best performing assets this year, rising 20% in dollar terms. C onsu mers a nd i nvestors may see the price decline as a buying opportunity, as many have waited for a price pullback before entering the market. Third-quarter 2015 served as an example, when a 7% decline in the gold price triggered a spike in demand for jewellery and bars and coins. Data already points to an uptick in consumer interest. The top-five countries where consumers searched online for gold after the price drop were in the Middle East, with the United Arab Emirates being number one. Anecdotal evidence suggests that consumers held off purchases in previous months, so this may well trigger an increase in demand. The price correction also comes at a good time for Indian consumers. With a good monsoon, the upcoming

THE TOP-FIVE COUNTRIES WHERE CONSUMERS SEARCHED ONLINE FOR GOLD AFTER THE PRICE DROP WERE IN THE MIDDLE EAST. Gold dips below US$1,300 For the past three months, the gold price traded from US$1,310 to US$1,370 per oz. gold. In the early hours of Oct. 4, the price consolidated near the lower end of the range. This was driven by slightly better-than-expected economic news in the U.S. and recent bullish commentary by some of the U.S. Federal Reserve’s Federal Open Market Committee members. The media also reported that the ECB might scale back its €10 billion monthly bond purchase program. Once the gold price pushed below US$1,310 per oz. — representing gold’s 100-day moving average — technical selling increased sharply, exacerbating the fall and triggering stop-losses, and more tactical selling. Meanwhile, Chinese investors, who have historically bought on dips, were celebrating the Golden Week national holiday, leaving domestic markets closed. Rates may not sink price A shift in monetary policy need not signal lower gold prices. Although negative nominal rates are unprecedented, there are many historical precedents for negative real rates, which give rise to the following stylized facts: • W hen real rates are negative, gold returns tend to be twice as high as the long-term average. • Even if real rates are positive and as long as they are not high (4%,

wedding season and Diwali and Dhanteras festivals, demand could pick up after subdued activity year-to-date. Volumes in t he physica lly gold-backed exchange-traded funds picked up in the secondary market as the price fell, and they haven’t resulted in large redemptions so far. This could indication that there is an appetite for gold amongst the investment community. Central banks, a major driver of gold demand, are still strong buyers of the metal to diversify their reser ve asset holdings, considering the shrinking universe of non-negative yielding assets. The Russian central bank recently said that it had no target for its gold holdings and buys regularly every month. Meanwhile, a recent sur vey of 19 central bank reserve managers — conducted by the World Gold Council — shows that nearly 90% of them will either increase or keep current gold reserve levels, indicating a strong floor of support for gold demand. Gold fundamentals solid Market f luctuations will occur from time to time, but the fundamental environment for gold remains strongly supportive. The broader market environment of low and negative interest rates — coupled with political, economic and policy uncertainty — remains unchanged, and are generally positive for gold. TNM

Yamana Gold’s Fazenda Brasileiro gold mine in Brazil, which would spin off into Brio Gold. YAMANA GOLD

Yamana revisits plans to divest Brio Gold portfolio GOLD

| Brio stable includes Fazenda Brasileiro, Pilar and C1 Santa Luz in Brazil

BY MATTHEW KEEVIL

mkeevil@northernminer.com VANCOUVER

ast year Yamana Gold (TSX: YRI; NYSE: AUY) floated the idea that it could divest a number of “non-core” South American assets to optimize its operating portfolio, lower debt and improve market valuations. The company went so far as to create the wholly owned Brio Gold subsidiary, and recruit a dedicated management team to pursue “strategic alternatives,” but a plan to monetize the assets via a private placement was scrapped in late 2015, due to poor market conditions. On Oct. 17, Yamana unveiled a new divestiture plan through a preliminary prospectus related to a secondary offering of Brio Gold shares. The company is now proposing a spin-off, wherein it would retain an equity interest in the new company. Shareholders would receive purchase rights to acquire part of Yamana’s interest in the subsidiary. The deal pricing and quantity of shares available was not disclosed at press time, but the company says it would eventually lower its equity ownership to 20% in the public company. The Brio Gold umbrella includes the Fazenda Brasileiro gold mine, Pilar gold mine and C1 Santa Luz gold project in Brazil. Earlier this year Yamana added the Riacho dos Machados gold mine to the portfolio for $50 million. The company expects the business unit will

generate 200,000 oz. gold this year at all-in sustaining costs ranging from US$940 to US$950 per oz. gold. The guidance does not include C1 Santa Luz, which would hit production in 2017. Yamana has indicated that “operational improvements” at Fazenda and Pilar, as well as an “improved outlook” at Santa Luz, have given Brio the potential to produce 280,000 oz. gold annually at all-in sustaining costs of US$840 per oz. gold. On a pro-forma basis, Brio would have US$6.6M in cash and no debt. It would also negotiate a credit facility totalling US$75 million.

an investment they already own.” Meanwhile, Scotiabank analyst Tanya Jakusconek says that a 40% stake in Brio could be worth US$250 million before taxes and fees, and said the “key to the success of the deal” is tied to whether “the market will value Brio higher on a standalone basis than it is being valued within Yamana.” GMP Securities analyst Steven Butler estimates a US$550million net asset value for Brio at a 15% discount rate, and calculates that Yamana could raise “a mininum of US$190 million” by selling a 40% stake.

YAMANA SAYS THE BRIO PORTFOLIO COULD PRODUCE 280,000 OZ. GOLD ANNUALLY AT ALL-IN SUSTAINING COSTS OF US$840 PER OZ. GOLD. BMO Capital Markets analyst Andrew Kaip said that the discussion to divest Brio a year ago was “premature,” but speculates that “investors appear to have a greater degree of comfort with the proposed turnaround plans, and we expect the offering to daylight value for the company, while retaining some optionality as a retained interest.” BMO Research ca lcu lates a US$590-million net present value for the Brio assets at a 5% discount rate, and notes that it may prove challenging to “entice existing shareholders to contribute cash to

GMP Research speculates that “the exercise price of the purchase rights could be somewhere between an initial public offering discount and a rights offering discount” at 10–20%. Yamana shares have traded within a 52-week range of $2 to $7.87, and closed at $4.96 per share at press time. The company intends to use any proceeds from a Brio divestiture to lower outstanding debt, which totals US$1.8 billion. Yamana has 948 million shares outstanding for a $4.7-billion market capitalization. TNM

OCTOBER 31–NOVEMBER 6, 2016 / THE NORTHERN MINER

M A R K E T N EWS TORONTO STOCK EXCHANGE / OCTOBER 17–21 Canada’s main benchmark index rose on the back of higher commodity prices and better-than-expected corporate earnings. The S&P/TSX Composite Index gained 2.4% to close at 14,939.04 — its highest level in 16 months. The S&P/TSX Global Mining advanced 6.4% to 63.49, and the S&P/TSX Global Gold Index surged 8.8% to finish at 224.07. The spot gold price in New York climbed 1.2%, or US$15.20, to US$1,265.70 per ounce. December West Texas Intermediate crude added 1% to close at US$50.85 per barrel. Canada’s manufacturing sales increased 0.9% in August, beating expectations. The Bank of Canada held its key interest rate at 0.5%. However, it lowered its economic growth forecasts, citing a slower housing market and declining exports. The central bank expects 1.1% growth this year and 2% next year, compared to 1.3% and 2.2% earlier. Alderon Iron Ore climbed 68.2% to 19¢ per share, after updating its Kami iron ore project in Labrador. Alderon has retained Montreal, Que.-based BBA to complete the re-scoping process by publishing a preliminary economic assessment (PEA) of Kami. The PEA will incorporate the existing infrastructure at the idled Wabush mine to lower the project’s initial and sustaining capital costs. Given there are no reserves

remaining at the Wabush mine, the pit could be used as a tailings storage and management facility for the Kami project. Alderon intends to work with relevant stakeholders to acquire access to the Wabush mine, which sits 6 km away. Alamos Gold shares jumped 18.4% to $11.60, after it made a strategic investment in Corex Gold. Alamos paid $2.5 million for a 19.1% interest in the junior. It bought 25.3 million Corex shares for 10¢ a share. Corex’s flagship Santana gold property sits 50 km southeast of Alamos’ Mulatos gold mine in Sonora, Mexico. Alamos notes it made the purchase for investment purposes and may adjust it depending on market conditions. Corex also issued 3 million shares to management and 6.1 million shares to H.

U.S. MARKETS / OCTOBER 17–21 U.S. equities rose after a brighter outlook for commodities and positive corporate earnings in a number of sectors. The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 1% to 18,145.71, and the S&P 500 Index moved up 0.4% to 2,141.16. The Nasdaq Composite gained 0.8% to close at 5,257.40. The spot gold price advanced 1.2% to US$1,265.70 per oz. gold. The December contract for U.S. crude oil added nearly 1% to settle at US$50.85 per barrel. Hecla Mining shares rose 12.8% to US$5.91 on the back of third-quarter production results. Silver output grew 67% year-over-year to 4.3 million oz., while gold production jumped 20% to 52,126 oz. gold. Lead production increased 14%, while zinc output fell 15%. Silver-equivalent ounces climbed 17% year over year to 10.3 million. Given the strong performance from all its mines, Hecla has increased its 2016 silver guidance from 15.75 million to 16.25 million oz., the highest ever in its 125-year history. At the end of September, the company’s cash, equivalent and short-term investments were US$192 million, up US$33 million from the previous quarter. This includes US$16 million of insurance proceeds for the Troy mine reclamation. Hecla expects

to report its third-quarter financials on Nov. 8. Dominion Diamond edged up 1.7% to US$8.92 per share, after reporting thirdquarter production results from its 40% held Diavik diamond mine. Diavik generated 1.54 million carats from 580,000 tonnes on a 100% basis. This represents a 22% year-over-year increase for both tonnes and carats. The higher processing volumes came from higher ore availability, mainly from A-418, which had poor ground conditions a year ago. The higher tonnes led to more diamond production. Dominion’s 40% share amounts to 618,000 carats generated from 233,000 tonnes grading U.S. MOST ACTIVE ISSUES

2.65 carats per tonne. While grade improved 7% from the year-ago quarter, it was below plan due to higher underground dilution. Along with Diavik, Dominion operates the Ekati diamond mine. Both assets are in the Northwest Territories.

THE NORTHERN MINER / OCTOBER 31–NOVEMBER 6 2016

Corex gets vote of confidence from Alamos | Alamos buys 19% of Corex for $2.5M

BY SALMA TARIKH starikh@northernminer.com

Corex Gold (TSXV: CGE) has finalized a strategic investment from Alamos Gold (TSX: AGI; NYSE: AGI). Corex’s f lagship wholly owned Santana gold property sits 50 km southeast of Alamos’ Mulatos gold mine in Mexico’s Sonora state. On Oct. 21, Alamos bought 25.3 million Corex shares at 10¢ apiece, representing 19.1% of the junior. In a release, Alamos’ CEO John McCluskey describes Corex as an “attractive exploration opportunity,” given its “favourable geology and proximity to the Mulatos mine.” He adds the company made the purchase for investment purposes and may adjust it based on market conditions. In an interview, Corex’s CEO Craig Snider says Alamos has “knowledgeable people and key individuals that have had a ton of success in Mexico over a number of decades that see this as a large opportunity.” Alamos also operates the El Chanate gold mine in Sonora and the Young-Davidson gold mine in Ontario. He speculates that if the nearproduction Santana project generates positive cash flow, it could lead to a takeover. In early September, Corex received its final permit at Santana to build a heap leach gold operation and pilot plant. It is planning small-scale production in the “next few months” so that it can produce cash flow for exploration and operation ramp-up. It has already prepaid most of the construction, Snider says. The project has an interna l resource estimate that Snider hasn’t disclosed, since it’s not National Instrument 43-101 compliant. However, he reveals that the property has seen more than $10 million of exploration and 32,000 metres of drilling since Corex acquired it in 2008. After buying the untested property, the junior discovered the Benjamin, Nicho and Nicho North zones. Open-pit heap-leach production will start at Nicho North. Vale (NYSE: VALE) also drilled a bit on the property under an option agreement that it ended in early 2014. Undeterred by Vale’s departure, Corex continued exploring the 7.7 sq. km property. “The potential size and nature of the property could host considerable ounces of gold near-surface,” Snider says. He recalls that he met Chester Millar — an advisor to Santana’s current operator, H Morgan & Co. (HMC) — in 2008. Millar, who founded Alamos and several other gold firms, expressed interest in financing and managing Santana. But those talks stalled with the market downturn, before resuming in 2014. HMC formed a partnership with Corex in June that year. As part of the recent equity raise, Corex issued 3 million shares to certain members of its management and 6.1 million shares to HMC, all priced at 10¢ per share. As a result, it raised a total $3.4 million, including Alamos’ portion. Management owns 8% of

But Barrick founder and chairman Peter Munk vigorously defended Barrick’s decision at the company’s annual general meeting on April 24. “I convinced the board,” he told the standing-room-only crowd at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. “If you want to give anyone hell, give it to me.” Munk argued that the new paradigm of mounting resource nationalism requires a brand-new approach to government contacts. And he said that the challenges of protecting the company’s assets — “90% of which, to the tune of $40 billion, are in 23 different countries” — meant that the company needed someone of Thornton’s exceptional calibre and “unique credentials,” leverage and access to some of the world’s most important power brokers. “We believe that pay should be tailored to achievements, that pay should come after performance,” Munk said. “It was hard to have someone paid on performance if he would not have been able to join to perform.

Edgewater’s project sits around 10 km inland from any local agricultural or tourist activities, amongst green hills bristling with thin-trunked eucalyptus trees. “We have excellent government and community support,” comments vice-president exploration Greg Smith during the drive, pointing out that a local mayoral candidate recently won with a platform See EdGEwatEr, Page 18

B2Gold hits new gold at developing Otjikoto mine By Gwen Preston

VANCOUVER — With its list of gold mines having just climbed from two to three following the takeover of CGA Mining and with a fourth mine under construction, B2Gold (BTO-T) expects to churn out more than half a million ounces of gold annually by 2015. It’s a feat that is earning the company growing praise from an industry happy to see an acquisition-based success story amidst so many overpriced and failed deals. And in its latest news B2Gold reports its drills are hitting highgrade gold at a satellite zone at Otjikoto — the mine under construction in Namibia — that could well add years and ounces to the operation. Otjikoto sits 300 km north of the Namibian capital of Windhoek. The project, which B2Gold holds a 92% stake in through a partnership with Namibian EVI Gold, is home

to 29.4 million probable tonnes of open-pit reserves grading 1.42 grams gold per tonne. Open-pit mine construction at Otjikoto kicked off in January, with initial gold production expected in late 2014. Otjikoto’s current reserves support 112,000 oz. gold production annually for 12 years. However, B2Gold believes there is much more gold to discover at the burgeoning mine. To that end, the company has already completed 47 drill holes at the project this year. Thirteen of those holes were collared within the planned Otjikoto open pit to better delineate certain ore shoots, while another six holes were drilled to inform civil engineering studies. The other 28 holes all probed Wolfshag, a known but little-explored gold zone, northeast of the planned pit. Using historic data and a few drill See B2GoLd, Page 3

WINNEMUCCA, NEV. — For Nevada-based explorer Paramount Gold and Silver (PZG-T, PZG-X), there’s a lot to be said for making something old new again. In mid2010 the company picked up the past-producing Sleeper gold-silver mine, which operated from 1986 to 1996, and produced roughly 1.65 million oz. gold and 2.3 million oz. silver during its mine life.

the past-producing pit at Paramount Gold and Silver’s Sleeper gold-silver project in Nevada.

Site ViSit By matthew keevil

By Gwen Preston

Sleeper lies within the western reaches of the northern Nevada rift, specifically along the Slumbering Hills, which consists of Mesozoic meta-sedimentary rocks of the Auld Lang Syne group and Cretaceous granitic intrusions. Mineralization at Sleeper falls into four main categories, including: early quartz-pyrite-marcasite stockwork, intermediate silicapyrite-marcasite cemented breccias tied to zones of structural weakness, late-stage zones of highgrade banded quartz veins and post-alluvial, gold-silver deposits in Pliocene gravels. During previous operations all four types of mineralization were mined, with high-grade material passing through a milling circuit, while lower-grade ore was processed via heap leaching. What made Sleeper so strong initially LA CORUÑA, GALICIA, SPAIN — It has been three years since Vancouver-based Edgewater Exploration (EDW-V) bought the Corcoesto gold project from Lundin Mining (LUN-T) and embarked upon a journey in northwesternmost Spain’s La Coruna province, where mining history dates back more than 4,000 years. Now Edgewater stands poised on the development threshold, having pulled together a gold re-

Sleeper was one of the lowest-cost gold mines in the world, and Paramount believes the old mine has a robust future. Sipping coffee inside Paramount’s headquarters in the mining town of Winnemucca, vicepresident of exploration Glen van Treek, who joined Paramount after a 10-year stint with Teck Resources, stands to present his geological model and outline Paramount’s exploration strategy going forward.

Noront sheds light on Ring of Fire’s untapped potential GEOLOGY

| Ontario’s Ring of Fire metal district is in a class of its own, Noront says

BY LESLEY STOKES

lstokes@northernminer.com VANCOUVER

he greenstone belt that hosts the nickel-copper-platinum group metal (PGM) and chromite deposits in northern Ontario’s Ring of Fire camp, 540 km northeast of Thunder Bay, is unique compared to other regions in Canada, says Noront Resources’ (TSXV: NOT) president and CEO Alan Coutts. “In our case we have a typical greenstone belt, but we also have this large, layered ultramafic intrusion complex and iron formations abutting it. So it had all the right things going on to create the diversity of deposits we see there today,” he tells The Northern Miner in an interview. Coutts says the similar belts elsewhere in Ontario and Quebec are less known for their magmatic copper-nickel, PGM and chromium deposits, which include examples such as Balmoral Resources’ Grasset copper-cobalt-PGM deposit in northern Quebec, the Raglan nickelcopper-PGM belt in northernmost Quebec, and some in Ontario’s Timmins district. He says the age of the greenstone belts plays a role in the genesis of the magmatic-style deposits. During the Archean eon, 4 billion to 2.5 billion years ago, temperatures on earth were still hot enough to drive deep-seated, high-magnesium melts — otherwise known as “ultramafics” — into higher levels of the earth’s crust without cooling rapidly, as they might today. These melts, which contained a high amount of dissolved metals, would devour sulphur-rich country rocks during their ascent. Once sulphur was saturated in the melt, it would separate out of the magma — much like oil does in water — and absorb the dissolved metals. When the magma flow slowed, the droplets of sulphur containing the heaviest metals would settle onto the base of the intrusion or flow, and then cool to form layers of massive sulphides, whereas the drops that weren’t heavy or large enough to sink before the magma crystallized ended up cooling in place. Magmatic-style deposits often have horizons of massive sulphides that grade upwards into less dense, nettextured sulphides before ending in a horizon of disseminated sulphides. Coutts points out that later deformation can tilt and truncate the rock package, whereas metamorphism or later-stage hydrothermal fluids can remobilize the sulphides into different parts of the crust. In the Ring of Fire, the prospective ultramafic rocks are buried under lakes, bogs and younger rocks, making them hard for explorers to find. But in regional geophysical data, they pop out as a distinct, horseshoeshaped magnetic anomaly that runs 60 km in diametre along the margin of a large granitic batholith. The resource industry became interested in the region in 2002, shortly after De Beers drilled into volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) mineralization near McFaulds Lake while testing magnetic anomalies for suspected kimberlite material. By 2003, exploration had outlined six more VMS deposits, but the first staking rush in the region began in 2007, after Noront discovered nickel-copper-platinum-palladium mineralization at its flagship Eagle’s Nest deposit. In 2008, three high-grade chromite ore zones — Blackbird, Black Thor

and Big Daddy — were discovered along a 14 km long strike length from Eagle’s Nest. The deposits occur within different parts of the regionally trending ultramafic package. At Eagle’s Nest, mineralization occurs as a pipe-like body 200 metres in width and up to several tens of metres thick, and at least 1.7 km deep, within a north-trending, subvertical komatiitic dyke. (Komatiites are a type of ultramafic rock.) The deposit hosts proven and probable reserves of 11.1 million tonnes of 1.7% nickel, 0.9% copper, 0.89 gram platinum per tonne, 3.09 grams palladium per tonne and 0.18 gram gold per tonne. Inferred resources stand at 9 million tonnes of 1.1% nickel, 1.14% copper, 1.16 grams platinum, 3.49 grams palladium and 0.3 gram gold. In contrast, the nearby chromite deposits occur as flat-lying bodies, formed where the melt, rising as a plume from dykes below, pooled horizontally into a sedimentary package of banded ironstones. According to Noront’s technical report, the ironstones may have supplied the

magma with enough sulphur to trigger precipitation of the metals. Total chromite resources in the Ring of Fire have been pegged at 343 million tonnes, ranging from 23% to 38% chromium oxide, assuming a cut-off between 20% and 30% chromium oxide. Noront has consolidated control over 75% of the staked claims in the region, and Coutts believes exploration in the Ring of Fire is still in its early stages. “I’ve worked in a lot of nickelcopper districts during my career — Western Australia, Raglan, Sudbury basin — and usually these magmatic nickel-copper deposits occur in clusters,” he says. “So we’re pretty excited to explore there because we expect more than one deposit.” He also sees potential for the region to host more orogenic gold and VMS deposits similar to ones found elsewhere in Ontario and Quebec.

New execs hope to turn around Luna Gold LUNA From 1

looking for something that was undervalued in the current market,” Christian Milau, Luna Gold’s new president and CEO, said during a corporate presentation in September at the Precious Metals Summit in Beaver Creek, Colorado. “A lot of share prices have run up, as we all know this year, and we were looking for the next opportunity.” “This one really had what I called its hair and warts on it, and really needed to be fixed,” Milau continued. “But underlying that we felt it was a really good asset and that was the crux of our interest. We felt very similar when we looked at True Gold a couple of years ago.” The former CEO of True Gold joined Luna Gold in August, along with other members of the True Gold team, including David Laing, chief operating officer; Peter Hardie, chief financial officer; Scott Heffernan, vice-president of exploration; and Sebastian D’Amici, vice-president of finance. Luna Gold’s new leadership team says it can turn Aurizona around, too, much as it did Karma, a stalled construction project that it took through to production in just 14 months. (Milau and Laing were also among the original executives at Endeavour Mining, where they both spent five and a half years, during which the company ascended from an 80,000 oz. gold a year producer in Burkina Faso to one churning out over 500,000 oz. gold per year from a portfolio of mines across West Africa.) Milau says he’s excited about his new assignment. “We finished at True Gold in May and this one found us,” Milau says of Luna Gold and its Aurizona mine in Brazil’s northeastern state of Maranhao. “We were looking to invest some of our own money and this opportunity came up.” One of the key things for Milau and the rest of the team is that they put in about $2.3 million of their own funds in August. “We wanted to find an opportunity where we could be aligned with shareholders,” he said. “That shows real commitment — not everyone puts direct money in.” Since then, Luna Gold has released a prefeasibility study (PFS) on restarting the Aurizona gold mine, which Milau and his colleagues hope to accomplish during the first half of 2018. The next step is to complete a feasibility study before the end of the first quarter of 2017. According to the PFS released on Sept. 12, Aurizona could be in production for US$146 million, which includes a new mine fleet.

1 2 3 4 5 11 13 14 15 16_OCT31_Main .indd 14

Life-of-mine sustaining capital is an estimated US$47 million. The study envisions the mine could produce 150,000 oz. gold a year during the first five years at all-in sustaining costs of US$708 per oz., and cash costs of US$606 per oz. gold. Payback would come in 2.6 years. Construction would take 18 months. Aurizona has proven and probable reserves of 969,000 contained oz. gold in 18.6 million tonnes grading 1.62 grams gold per tonne, enough to sustain a 6.5-year mine life (at US$1,250 per oz. gold). Inclusive of reserves, Aurizona’s measured and indicated resource stands at 1.6 million contained oz. gold in 29.9 million tonnes at a grade of 1.67 grams gold. And while the mine life is quite short, Milau conceded, this “didn’t concern us, because we thought the underlying area and project could have district-scale potential.” The PFS outlines an after-tax net present value at a 5% discount rate of US$201 million and a 34% after-tax internal rate of return at a US$1,250 per oz. gold price. Those figures rise to US$256 million and 41%, at US$1,350 per oz. gold. “The reason the IRRs are quite high and quite attractive is that the initial capex is quite low at US$150 million, and that includes the full refurbishment of the mining fleet,” Milau says. “We don’t need to build everything. We have got a brownfield site with a lot of infrastructure there we can capitalize on.” The new mine plan continues primary mining in the Piaba open pit, deepening the pit and mining harder rock types, which will be amenable to treatment in an upgraded processing plant. The plan also envisions early mining of Boa Esperanca, a smaller pit 1 km southeast of Piaba, which when mined out will be used for water storage. Milau is the first to admit that many people questioned his decision to join the company, and not all shared his optimistic view of its prospects. “The project has had its history,” he said, explaining that the processing plant had not been built to handle hard rock — it had been built to handle the soft saprolite. “There was a bit of a misunderstanding of how much soft rock was there, and the plant sort of ground to a halt with the gold price falling,” he says. “Cash funds being quite short, ultimately, it was not prepared to handle that hard rock, which came up sooner than planned.” He also pointed out that a previous management team that led the company from early 2015 had done a lot of work to put the open-pit

“WE WERE LOOKING TO INVEST SOME OF OUR OWN MONEY, AND THIS OPPORTUNITY CAME UP.” CHRISTIAN MILAU PRESIDENT AND CEO, LUNA GOLD

operation back into production, including undertaking 15,000 metres of oriented core drilling, 3,000 metres of RC drilling and re-logging of historic core, with the plan to get a feasibility study done based on a better understanding of the rock. Drilling and metallurgical testwork programs last year helped develop a stronger technical foundation and advanced the team’s understanding of the geology, alteration, weathering, structure and metallurgy, and their controls on gold mineralization, processing and recoveries, Milau noted. The mining executive said the company that consolidated the PFS, Lycopodium Minerals Canada, was the same group that Luna Gold’s current management team had worked with during its last two to three mine builds in Africa. “They really understand this type of region and the type of material we are dealing with,” Milau said, adding that “when you’re standing in Ivory Coast you feel like you’re in Brazil, except it’s probably 10 to 20 years earlier in terms of exploration. “You just look at all this open area — it’s really underexplored versus West Africa at this stage,” he continued. “Brazil is a big place … it has a lot of opportunities.” Luna Gold plans to upgrade the processing plant to 8,000 tonnes per day. “We have permits to operate at 6,000 tonnes per day, so this is not a brand-new permit,” Milau noted, adding that the existing Vene tailings storage facility on the property is also permitted. Luna Gold plans to expand the capacity at Vene in three lifts (the first before the restart of the process plant, the second two years later and a third two years after that.) Tailings facility construction

will start in year four. The upgraded processing plant will use conventional gravity concentration and leach/CIP cyanidation. The design includes a new comminution circuit that will treat all ore types and consist of a primary jaw crusher, SAG mill, ball mill and pebble crusher. Installations will also include an intensive leach reactor, a hybrid leach/carbon-inpulp circuit, pressurized elution, carbon regeneration kiln, upgraded hydro-cyclones, three more leach tanks and partly installed, high-rate thickeners. Milau estimated the company will have to undertake $2.5-million worth of more work to complete the feasibility study, including a bit of infill drilling, some geo-tech work and an assessment of the water management plan. “There are three metres of water there a year, so it’s really important we understand that,” Milau said. “David and I had a good experience recently in West Africa, with big rainfalls and building a mine site and, really, you have got to get that water management plan in place early.” To handle rock material, the company needs to build the front end of the plant. It needs a primary crusher, a SAG mill, a ball mill and a pebble crusher. The project will need a few more leach pads, as well, to improve gold recoveries. The fleet will be replaced, and Milau expects that the company will lease some of that. There is already power to site, but the substations need to be upgraded. “There’s reliable and good power there,” he said. “It’s been fantastic compared with what I’ve experienced in certain other countries, certainly in West Africa.” The project, 320 km from Sao Luis, the capital of Maranhao state, and 400 km from Belem, the capital of Para state, is road accessible, and can be reached by a one-hour air charter from either city. The area also has skilled workers. Maranhao is one of the country’s poorest states, and people are keen to find jobs, Milau said. “There are a lot of skilled workers in the area that really want to get back to work once we get this thing back into production.” Over the last year, Luna Gold has traded from 3¢ to 35¢, and at press time traded at 29.5¢ per share. The company has about 388.8 million shares outstanding of which Pacific Road owns 45%, Sandstorm Gold (TSX: SSL; NYSE: SAND) owns 17% and Management holds 3%. Luna has a market cap of around $112 million.Milau sees opportunity in Luna Gold’s share price, too.

“The stock has had a really tough time since it had its difficulties a couple of years ago,” he said. “For us, that was part of the opportunity here. It still has room to move to catch up. When you look at valuations of actual producers that are producing 150,000 oz. gold a year at these costs, you’re looking quite often at half-a-billion-dollar market cap these days. Our market cap is sub-$100 million.” “We’re not here to build one mine that’s six and a half years,” he added. “We believe we can become a multi-asset producer … that was our experience in building up Endeavour.” The goal, he says, is to double reserves through exploration. In addition to the Piaba and Boa Esperanca deposits, the property contains a number of exploration targets, including to the west of the Piaba pit (and underneath the existing pit), as well as the Tatajuba target, 2.4 km southwest of Piaba within the Aurizona Shear Zone (ASZ). Tatajuba extends over an 800-metre strike length, and like Piaba, it contains gold mineralization associated with a sub-vertical to moderately north-dipping structure within the ASZ. Other targets on the property are Conceicao a deposit 1.6 km southeast of Piaba, and Ferradura, a deposit 1.7 km southeast of Piaba. (Luna Gold reported small resource estimates for both deposits in March 2013.) Near-mine targets include the Tatajuba Extensions (surface geochemical gold anomalies extending to the east and west of the Tatajuba zone); Micote, 3 km east of Piaba on a parallel northeast-trending mineralized structure; and São Lourenco, 3.5 km east of Piaba and 500 metres south of Micote. In May, Luna Gold’s previous management team signed an exploration agreement with AngloGold Ashanti (NYSE: AU) to spend US$14 million on exploration over four years to earn a 70% interest in mineral claims over 1,702 sq. km (which can be increased to 2,387 sq. km, subject to government approvals). The joint-venture will not include mineral claims corresponding to the Aurizona gold mine, the nearby Tatajuba extension and other brownfield properties, or the Touro greenfields property. Luna Gold says the deal shows the Greenfield claims’ potential. “It’s an area of focus for them in South America,” Milau said. “Over the next four years they plan to spend a reasonable amount of money looking for more Anglo-sized projects on the greenfield areas of our tenements.” TNM

Dynacor Gold Mines’ Chala gold processing plant in Peru, 600 km south of Lima, which treats ore extracted by local miners. DYNACOR GOLD MINES

Dynacor fires up Chala plant TOLL MILLING BY TRISH SAYWELL

tsaywell@northernminer.com

eru’s new president Pedro Pablo Kuczynski has said he will implement policies that favour investment in the mining sector, and plans to enhance and streamline the formalization process for artisanal miners. Dynacor Gold Mines (TSX: DNG; US-OTC: DNGDF) says that’s good news not only for the country’s economy, but for the company, too, which just opened a new processing plant near the city of Chala, 600 km south of Lima, that treats ore bought from approved local miners. “We’re hearing that as many as 250,000 to 300,000 local miners are still out of the formalization process,” Dynacor’s director of investor relations Dale Nejmeldeen says. “If they were not approved by April 2012 as registered miners, legal ore processors like Dynacor were not permitted to buy ore from them.” Nejmeldeen notes that the recently elected president — who earned bachelor’s degrees in politics and economics from Oxford University and a master’s in economics from Princeton, and is also a former minister of mines — wants to bring at least half of the country’s unregistered informal miners in the country into the formal sector, and has made announcements to that effect. “Even if they bring half of them into the formal sector, these registered miners will deal with companies like Dynacor, which pays its taxes, so there’s a lot of tax revenue they’re looking at here,” Nejmel-

1 2 3 4 5 11 13 14 15 16_OCT31_Main .indd 15

| Company advances Tumipampa gold-copper project in Peru

deen says in a telephone interview from his office in Vancouver. According to the energy and mines ministry, Nejmeldeen says, small-scale miners last year generated an estimated US$3 billion revenue and produced 20% of Peru’s gold. But Nejmeldeen is rea listic about the pace of change in Peru, particularly given that President Kuczynski’s party, the PPK, holds only18 of the 130 seats in Congress. By contrast, the party of his strongest opponent, Keiko Fujimori, the daughter of former president Alberto Fujimori, has 73 seats. Dynacor buys ore from 300 registered miners, and in the three months ended June 30, the company recorded its twenty-first consecutive profitable quarter. Production in the second quarter reached 17,525 oz. gold, up from 16,594 oz. gold in the second quarter of 2015, earning the company US$1.1 million, or 3¢ per share, compared to the year-earlier quarter’s US$0.8 million, or 2¢ per share. The company acquired its first ore processing plant, MetalexHuanca, 450 km south of Lima, in 1998, and inaugurated its second, Veta Dorada, on Oct. 3. The new US$15-million carbonin-pulp plant — 5 km off Peru’s section of t he Pa n A merica n Highway — is fully permitted for 300 tonnes per day and has been designed for processing ore from multiple suppliers. It has also been designed to be readily expandable to 450 tonnes per day and then to 600 tonnes per day by adding lines and ball mills. Nejmeldeen says Veta Dorada runs at 250 tonnes per day, but

“THIS WHOLE AREA IS HEATING UP. JUST RECENTLY THERE HAS BEEN A BARRAGE OF CLAIM ACTIVITY BY SENIORS, RIGHT BESIDE TUMIPAMPA.” DALE NEJMELDEEN DIRECTOR OF INVESTOR RELATIONS, DYNACOR GOLD MINES

should reach 300 tonnes per day by year-end, and 360 tonnes per day by April 2017. The mill’s location in an underpopulated area is also ideal, he says. “It is a great spot because it’s in the middle of the desert — we have plenty of room. There are 15 years of tailings space available on one side of the mill, and we purchased another piece of land on the other side of the road, and can increase the tailings another 10 years when the time comes.” Dynacor expects the new plant will increase the company’s gold production by at least 40%. In addition to ore processing, Dynacor is advancing its Tumipampa gold-copper project, 500 km southeast of Lima. The company says it’s close to putting out a resource estimate that will largely encompass the high-grade gold found within the project’s Manto Dorado, Manto Nazareno, and Lisa epithermal vein and mantos systems. So far, the mineralization has been traced from surface to 500 metres down-dip, and Dynacor says that the mineralization could extend another 2.3 km towards a porphyry system that was discovered during surface exploration late last year. Tumipampa sits at 4,500 metres

above sea level on a barren plateau that straddles the AndahuaylasYauri porphyry and skarn belt to the east and a regionally trending corridor of epithermal gold and silver mineralization to the west — both known to host large base and precious metal deposits. Alonso Sanchez, the company’s chief geologist, is eager to start drilling the disseminated zone, Nejmeldeen says. The Peruvian geologist says that much like Barrick Gold’s (TSX: ABX; NYSE: ABX) Lagunas Norte mine, Tumipampa’s disseminated zone hosts breccias, stockworks and veinlets of its own. The disseminated zone in Tumipampa is located in similar types of host rocks such as sandstone and cuarcite from the Cretaceous period. (Lagunas Norte, on the western flank of the Peruvian Andes, 140 km east of the coastal city of Trujillo, produced 560,000 oz. gold last year at all-in-sustaining costs of US$509 per oz. gold.) In addition, Dynacor has discovered that there is coal in the sandstone at Tumipampa, which is also similar to Lagunas Norte, Nejmeldeen says. “Finding coal in the sandstone at Tumipampa’s disseminated is noteworthy, as coal helps to capture and hold the gold,” he explains in a later email. “All this, plus important values of

gold found on the surface, together with geophysical chargeability anomalies, lead Mr. Sanchez and others in the area to believe there is another economic disseminated breccia in the making.” Dynacor’s closest neighbours at Tumipampa include China’s MMG, with its Las Bambas copper project to the east; Southern Copper (NYSE: SCCO), with its Los Chancas copper project to the east; Panoro Minerals (TSXV: PML), with its Antilla copper-molybdenum project to the south; and Bear Creek Mining’s (TSXV: BCM) La Yegua copper-molybdenum-gold project to the northeast. North and northeast are Minas Buenaventura’s (NYSE: BVN) Orcopampa gold-silver mine; Hochschild Mining’s (US-OTC: HCHDF) Arcata gold-silver and Pallancata silver projects; Hudbay Minerals’ (TSX: HBM; NYSE: HBM) Constancia gold-copper mine; and First Quantum Minerals’ (TSX: FM) Haquira copper-gold project. Nejmeldeen says more and more companies are scouting the area and staking claims. Over the last year, for instance, Southern Copper increased the size of its Los Chances claim by staking land eastward to within 2 km of Tumipampa’s border, Dynacor says. “This whole area is heating up,” Nejmeldeen says. “Just recently there has been a barrage of claim activity by seniors, right beside Tumipampa. At the front of the list is Barrick, with claims surrounding Dynacor. Other noteworthy companies in the area are Anglo American, Buenaventura, Southern Peru, IamGold, Super Strong Mining (China) and Fresnillo Peru.” TNM

Teck to buy out Rox at Teena deposit in Australia ZINC-LEAD BY TRISH SAYWELL tsaywell@northernminer.com

fter optioning the Reward project from Rox Resources in 2011, and discovering the Teena zinc deposit on the concession in 2013, Teck Resources (TSX: TCK.B; NYSE: TCK) has struck a deal with the Aussie junior to acquire the other 49% stake in the project that it doesn’t already own. The Teena deposit — 8 km west of Glencore’s McArthur River mine in Australia’s Northern Territory — has the largest and highest-grade zinc-lead resource found in Australia for more than 20 years, Rox Resources says, describing Teena as “the most significant discovery of zinc in Australia since Century in 1990.” (MMG’s Century, Australia’s largest open-pit mine, closed in 2015.)

| ‘Most significant discovery of zinc in Australia since Century in 1990,’ Rox says Drilling at Teena between 2013 and 2015 uncovered zinc-lead mineralization over thicknesses exceeding 20 metres over a 1.3 km strike length. In June, Teena reported an inferred resource of 58 million tonnes grading 11.7% zinc and 1.6% lead for 6.5 million contained tonnes zinc and 0.9 million tonnes lead. The June resource estimate used a 6% zinc and lead cut-off grade. Rox Resources’ managing director, Ian Mulholland, described Teena’s resource in a press release at the time as “world-class,” and said the deposit’s estimated tonnage and grade was “comparable to other giant zinc-lead resources globally.” He also noted that Teena “has zinc grades as high as operating mines at McArthur River, [Glencore’s] Mt. Isa and previously at

Century,” adding that the deposit contains 16.3 billion lb. zinc and lead metal (14.2 billion lb. zinc and 2.1 billion lb. lead), “which in terms of contained metal exceeds the endowments of either the Cannington or the Dugald River deposits.” (Both Cannington and Dugald River are located in Queensland; Cannington is owned by South32 [LSE: S32] and Dugald River by MMG.) The zinc-lead mineralization at Teena occurs as two subparallel lodes — the thicker and highergrade Lower Lode and the Upper Lode. At a 6% zinc cut-off grade, the Upper Lode has inferred resources of 45 million tonnes averaging 12% zinc and 1.8% lead, while the Lower Lode has 14 million tonnes grading 8.2% zinc and 1.2% lead. So far 22 drill holes have been completed at Teena. The first hole was drilled in 1961. The next eight were drilled between 1976 and 1977. No more drilling took place until Teck’s discovery hole in 2013. Since then Teck has completed 14 more drill holes, for 14,700 metres. Of the 22 holes drilled so far, Rox Resources states, 17 intersected mineralization that was used in the inferred resource. “It is likely that the mineral resources will grow by more drilling, especially along the margins of the deposit,” Rox Resources stated. In an email, Teck’s senior communications specialist in Vancouver, Chris Stannell, said the company “is pleased to have the opportunity to consolidate this quality zinc asset, located in one of the world’s premier zinc provinces,” and noted that Teck had earned 51% in the project, with the right to earn up to a 70% interest. As of March 31, Teck had spent $13.9 million on the project for its 51% interest, according to Rox Resources. Under the latest deal, Teck must pay A$10.6 million in cash (or A$8 million in cash and A$3.6 million in freely trading securities) payable on closing, provide a three-year, A$5.3-million interest-bearing promissory note, and another A$3.8 million in cash payable either six years after the closing date, or the completion of a bankable feasibility study. Teck’s decision to acquire all of Teena coincides with a zinc price that has risen steadily since the start of 2016. Zinc has been the best performing base metal this year (up 45.3% since January), and analysts at Bank of America and Merrill Lynch Global Research noted in a report released on Oct. 7 that they see “further upside in 2017, on lack of mine supply.” The analysts have increased their

2016 price target for zinc 3.7% from US$1,987 per tonne, or 90¢ per lb., to US$2,061 per tonne, or 93¢ per lb. zinc. Bank of America Merrill Lynch has raised its 2017 zinc price forecast 13.3% to US$2,575 per tonne, or $1.17 per lb., up from its previous forecast of US$2,273 per tonne, or $1.03 per lb. zinc. “Capital expenses on lead and zinc facilities remains subdued for a host of reasons, suggesting that the bull market, especially in zinc, is structural,” the report stated, adding that between April 2008 and October 2015, zinc and lead saw “some of the lowest production expansion in years.” The research report stated that “zinc has been the outperformer in the base metals complex, as str uctura l shor t fa l ls in mine supply have pushed the refined market into deficit. The mine project pipeline remains relatively empty, partly because few miners

focus on zinc, suggesting that prices may see further upside. Galvanized steel producers are key zinc buyers, and even if China’s steel industry may be under pressure ... there is pent-up demand in the country, suggesting the country’s zinc off-take may not fall off a cliff.” In terms of its geology, the Teena mineralization style is similar to that at the McArthur River zinclead mine, Rox Resources says, and like McArthur River, the zinc-lead sulphide mineralization is hosted by the HYC Shale Member of the Barney Creek Foundation. While no definitive metallurgical test work has been carried out, Rox Resources said, preliminary testing produced a potentially saleable zinc concentrate (plus 50% zinc), with a low lead content. The results for lead recovery into a separate concentrate were inconclusive, the junior reported, and more test work is required. TNM

SPECIAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE NORTHERN MINER / OCTOBER 31–NOVEMBER 1, 2016

PAGES B1 - B8

JANUARY 23-26, 2017

INVITATION FROM THE CHAIR

Kendra Johnston, Independence Gold Corp. Roundup 2017 Organizing Committee Chair

Welcome to AME Mineral Exploration Roundup 2017! This year’s conference will bring together geoscientists, prospectors, investors, suppliers and First Nation partners to share ideas that will help shape the future of mineral exploration and development. As the mineral exploration and development industry continues to work through the current downturn, we reflect on the importance of networking, professional development and relationship building with our partners, stakeholders and competitors. Mineral deposits are becoming harder to find; we must now travel to more remote locations, search deeper beneath cover, and sometimes settle for lower grades. These aspects, coupled with the challenging market conditions, remind us that we must be more creative and collaborative as we explore to discover and develop new mineral deposits. Mineral Exploration Roundup 2017,

Gearing up for Discovery, will focus on sharing new ideas, generating new connections and creating collaborative solutions. Our prominent Technical Sessions will highlight projects that have overcome challenges to succeed by using a combination of tried and tested techniques and new, innovative solutions. The best-practice Show Case Sessions will explore new ideas in areas of the industry that must be mastered to successfully navigate challenges and

opportunities. Lastly, our public outreach presentation, “Discovery Day” has been expanded to feature more interactive displays, industry-focused public-interest talks, and activities for your whole family. Join us at Roundup 2017 from January 23-26 at Canada Place in Vancouver, B.C.! Learn, share ideas and connect with others from every aspect of the industry from prospecting to reclamation and everything in between.

INTERNATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS Wednesday, January 25 | Morning

There has been renewed interest in mineral exploration this year and a number of companies have stepped up their activity. This session will highlight exciting discoveries from around the world that demonstrate the

clever and effective groundwork that has been done during the recent tough down-cycle over recent years.

CANADIAN HIGHLIGHTS

The Gathering Place builds on the positive legacy of previous Roundup Gathering Place events. It provides a welcoming space for respectful dialogue where participants have the opportunity to learn from each other’s experiences – lessons learned, best practices, challenges and successes relating to building mutually beneficial Aboriginal relationships during mineral exploration. The Gathering Place is the only multi-day Show Case session at Roundup, and is a widely anticipated and actively attended event that attracts a broad range of Roundup attendees. AME has always encouraged mineral explorers to foster respectful relationships through early and meaningful engagement with Aboriginal peoples in order to move forward with successful mineral exploration and development,

having a mineral project understood and supported by Aboriginal people is a foundational component of successful exploration. The Gathering Place facilitates discussion of interests and issues by inviting leaders (Aboriginal, political and industry) to share their perspectives in an earnest and open manner.

SHORT COURSES

Register early for Short Courses; these are often sold out well in advance of the conference. MARKETING AND COMMUNICATIONS IN THE MINING WORLD Friday, January 20

The rapid spread of information on social media platforms, the growth of viewership of digital content and the increasing public involvement in the mining industry mean that mineral exploration and development companies must understand how to properly market and communicate their companies in order to succeed. This half-day short course will get you up-to-speed on how to market yourself to investors, the public, and the business community, as well as provide tips and tools for how to respond in a crisis situation.

MINING COMPANY DISCLOSURE 101 Friday, January 20

Learn the fundamentals of good mining company disclosure. This full-day course is designed to help geologists and engineers prepare & approve technical disclosure, and understand the principles of timely disclosure that underlie it. Presented by geologists from the B.C. Securities Commission, TSX Venture Exchange (TSX-V) and Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada (IIROC), you will get valuable information that you can apply immediately.

GEOPHYSICS FOR GEOLOGISTS Presented by: BC Geophysical Society Saturday, January 21 – Sunday, January 22

This two-day course can be taken in full or in separate half-day components. The first three components will cover the three principal geophysical methods used in mineral exploration: each covering basic principles from a geologic perspective, survey design and quality control, followed by case study applications. The final component will cover advanced interpretation methods: inversion and earth modeling, with additional interpretation case studies. Day 1 (AM) – I nduced Polarization and Resistivity Day 1 (PM) – Gravity, Magnetics and Radiometrics Day 2 (AM) – Electromagnetics and Magnetotellurics Day 2 (PM) – Inversion, Modelling, and Interpretation

GOLD DEPOSIT MODELS, TARGETING & EXPLORATION Presented by: Mineral Deposit Research Unit, UBC Saturday, January 21 – Sunday, January 22

map-based applications. This course is aimed at mineral exploration geologists, as well as government, academic, and student geologists. Additionally, this course provides an opportunity to meet and exchange data and views with leading researches in the field. And yes, there will be rocks.

BRITISH COLUMBIA GEOLOGICAL SURVEY MAPPLACE 2 BETA WORKSHOP Presented by: BC Geological Survey Saturday, January 21

Designed for anyone interested in British Columbia geoscience, this workshop focuses on what MapPlace 2 a web service created by the British Columbia Geological Survey that allows anyone with an Internet connection to efficiently mine multiple geoscience databases, can do for you. Through demonstrations and scenariobased exercises, participants will learn how to use basic MapPlace 2 functions and explore some of its more advanced features. We start with an overview of the interface, a review how the basic tools function, and descriptions of dataset organization and custom applications. We then conduct simple searches, downloading data and creating custom maps, and follow with more advanced tasks. Ultimately, participants will learn how MapPlace 2 can help guide exploration and investment decisions by saving time and effort gathering and analyzing geoscience data.

RARE EARTH AND CRITICAL ELEMENTS IN ORE DEPOSITS Presented by: Society of Economic Geologists Saturday, January 21 – Sunday, January 22

This two-day course will provide a comprehensive overview of rare earth and critical elements in ore deposits. The material will emphasize deposit types, major deposits, critical element mineralogy and geochemistry, processes controlling ore grade enrichment, and exploration guides. Rare earth elements will be a major focus of the course because of their broad interest during the past decade, but we will also cover present knowledge of where and how enrichments take place in deposits for commodities such as antimony, cobalt, germanium, indium, lithium, niobium, tantalum and tellurium. Identifying potential sources for some of these elements deemed critical is challenging because of their minor historic usage and, to date, limited exploration targeting. However, they are now evolving into important economic targets that explorers cannot ignore.

INTEGRATED SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY (ISR) & ABORIGINAL RELATIONS Presented by: AME Aboriginal Relations and Integrated Social Responsibility Committees Sunday, January 22

These courses can be taken in individual sections or as a full one-day course. The morning, titled Uncovering Economic Opportunities – Mineral Exploration & Aboriginal People, will focus on First Nations perspectives and mineral exploration. Attendees will

gain understanding of the history, science and perspectives of both first nations and exploration companies; obtain fuller understanding of economic opportunities available to community groups to Aboriginal communities and discover earth science for opportunities and resource management. The afternoon, titled Social Sustainability: Measuring Success and Ensuring the “Social Chain of Custody”, will highlight the changing landscape of Integrated Social Responsibility, key indicators and due diligence. The course will provide an overview of social responsibility principles and measurement tools needed to determine the effectiveness of CSR programs and engagement outcomes. Using case studies and facilitated, interactive exercises, attendees will explore the practical and potentially challenging aspects of ensuring the “social chain of custody” from claim staking to the development of a mineral deposit. Case studies will highlight practical scenarios from British Columbia, as well as projects in various international jurisdictions.

STUDENT ORIENTATION: EXPLORING EXPLORATION Presented by: Andy Randell, SGDS Hive Sunday, January 22

In this course, students will get the opportunity to learn more about the dynamic roles they will play in the exploration industry. The day will be split into two sessions, with the popular Industry Speed Dating in the morning, followed by Exploration Monopoly in the afternoon. The speed dating session allows participants to talk to experts from all aspects of the modern mineral exploration business, from grassroots projects to mines, and also geochemists, First Nations and environmental representatives. You will learn about the wide range of issues and considerations the modern geologist faces in their day to day role. During the Exploration Monopoly session, teams will get to develop exploration targets under expert guidance, but like the traditional Monopoly board game, there will be twists and turns thrown in that you will have to adapt to in order to keep your project on track.

USING DEPOSIT MODELS TO CHOOSE EXPLORATION TARGETS AND MARKET PROPERTIES Presented by: David Lefebure, Lefebure GeoLogic Ltd. Sunday, January 22

In a course designed for geologists, prospectors, students, technical analysts and others, attendees will: • Learn how to use deposit model information to best examine and select attractive exploration targets using field criteria, public data and company reports. • Gain a general understanding for the more common metallic mineral deposit models found in the Cordillera. • Find out why some of the more interesting mineral occurrences don’t match up well with a mineral deposit model. The British Columbia Deposit Profiles will provide the framework for the course.
